The Royals and Cardinals faced off for the sixth and final time this season on Wednesday Night. Sparked by the “Magma Hot” Salvador Perez, Kansas City smacked St. Louis 12-3 to claim the rubber match and earn a split in the season series. It’s also the first series win over the Cardinals at Kauffman Stadium since 2015.
After failing to push across a run last night, the Royals didn’t waste time snapping their scoreless streak. In the bottom of the first, Perez belted a two-run homer over the batter’s eye in center field to make it 2-0.
